  • Yessir, this here is as creepy as it gets . . . Max Headroom sings the blues.

    Of course, I listened to the whole thing.

  • asshole

  • The "God Father" of the most famous song..."Crossroads"...we lost this talented man way too soon! Imagine how much more he would have created had he live longer! Amen to that!

  • 0:54 I mean, that's not THAT bad, but 3:36 really freaks me out.

  • Had hoper for the real thing.

  • Did he write Layla? sung by Eric Clapton ?

  • if this is robert i am  god????

  • it looks like somebody went to alot of trouble to make him look "live" but it seems more comical than anything. At least the music's good

  • @kyleacarmon jimi died and 27 years later I was born

  • @westsodemedia that's what I thought. I had a dream about Robert johnson a couple nights ago. I think I may have been jimi Hendrix in the last life.

  • This is pretty disturbing O.O

  • This is fucking disgusting

  • The music is great but the video is very strange

  • Honestly, please stop with the CG stuff

  • Looks so computer generated it is pathetic

  • lol, video mad creepy but I fully respect it. God deal

  • Love the voice, but the video......made from a single picture........gives me the creeps.

    Stiglaa x

  • Wow this is creepy as shit going dry.

  • Faaaaaaaaaaaaake

  • I saw this same trick done on a Dylan Thomas poem. Interesting touch.

  • Looks a bit like Southpark Animation.

  • Got my hopes up :(

  • I would say to the creator of this; "Great Creativity", Please teach me how to manipulate stills so well. Cool! Thank you!

  • you be an arsehole dude

  • 27 club

  • Straight out of Fallout 3.

  • This is scary

  • Original talent is always the rarest and Mr Johnson had it by the shed load.

  • @seamaster27 you know I always had a belief in reincarnation...and believed that Johnson came back as hendrix to see how much further he could push those 6 strings

  • @WestsideMedia Why? Because they're both black and musicians? I didn't know reincarnation was limited to skin colour

  • @ActionHeroMan no sir that is what in infer...I am saying because of the similar styles and techniques that are near exclusive to both of them...and how hendrix seem to expand where johnson left off...If reincarnation is true then I too got out of the primordial ooze as a black man...we all did.

  • @WestsideMedia Also they both died of being too famous at 27 years old. Freaky coincidence

    .

  • @WestsideMedia Whoa dude! That's cool. I thought the exact same thing about the reincarnation. I listened to Machine Gun by Band of Gypsys and totally heard the same techniques Johnson was using back in the day. The whole call call and response stuff. I know Johnson did not invent that, it all came from tribes in Africa. Anyways, pretty mind blowing stuff when you study specific things more.

  • @InserrtUsername I think this was the best comment made on this video in 3years!

  • @WestsideMdo not be fooled, there is no rebirth, the devil is just the sameedia

  • @seamaster27 Couldn't agree more.

  • hahahaha whats the big deal its just a picture moving around, nobody is disrespecting robert johnson. wtf is wrong with you ppl?

  • The voice is authentic, no doubt, but not not the video. Everyone know that, right?

  • nice work!!

    congratulations

  • creepy......

  • kinda creepy, sure, but kind of cool, too. its impressive you could do this. and you obviously have good taste if you chose to animate robert johnson :)

  • Very decent footage.

    Thanks for the good upload.

  • At least state in the title in brackets (shitty college project)

  • @Thespeakerofmanytru8

    This comment is winner.

  • on behalf of decent human beings i apologise to the person that posted this video for the dteadful comments that have been made. Thanks for sharing

  • there are actually 2 photos of Robert Johnson in existence

  • its bringing a photo to life lets see all you haters try to do better

  • rsrsrs Ancien Film!!

  • this is creepy as hell.

  • WOW! Some people have gone all primitive on this board!

    Why?

    Somebody made a weird 'video' of Robert Johnson. Big deal - don't mean he/she is any of the awful things some people are calling him.

    I grew up listening to Robert Johnson, love his music and all the books about him that I've read. Yet I can look at this video and enjoy that too - it's not disrespect in my eyes, it doesn't cheapen the music. Calm down!

  • @TheBiggusdee Thank you for your articulate and well thought out comment...I really appreciate it...it gets disheartening sometimes seeing my emails everyday and someone is wishing cancer on me and my loved ones...I could take it down...but that is giving into the mob...

  • @WestsideMedia Don't worry about all the insults. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Art is an expression of oneself, but if I had known this vid was not actual footage, I probably wouldn't have clicked on it. But now that I did, no harm done ; )

  • God, calm down people.

  • You know these comments are really nasty....sorry, guys. However, this video is ridiculous and does absolutely no justice to this great artist. But I do appreciate whoever uploaded the great music .

  • pretty creepy asshole. 

  • dude.. not cool and not funny

  • CRAZYTALK

    

  • say whatever you guys want but i thought it was pretty funny....i mean come on people! pull the rod out of ur ass it was a joke, hes not trying to insult anyone. he's just making a joke

  • SEEMS LEGIT

  • it seems we've fallen into a bunch of right unthoughtful, unkind to each other- people-Americans I'd guess-OK now thats how they treat each other 'cause they don't really need each other that much-material stuff and tech stuff supplants real people I guess-and decency too? Yeah it seems so,well let's keep moving and let them waller in the self loathe- OK let's go.

  • i dont really know how but you can tell this is computer graphics of him in apicture. you dont see physical movement. it looks like someone who doesnt know about blues music trying to play I actually reminds me of a old Cartoon called "Clutch Cargo" its too eerie but nice try.

  • Another "27 Club" member.....those poor bastards,Jimi,Jim,Janis,Johnso­n,Cobain.....

    How long they shall kill our prophets,while we stand aside and look?

    Robert Johnson....

    Hope that demon of yours didnt put his hands on you.

    Rest in peace.

  • Fucking idiot. The only thing I've experienced in life that's worse than this was the tag team blow job I got from your mother and grandma. Fail.

  • it is an insult to one of my favourite artists an a true legend, but fuck me if it's not funny looking as fuck hahaa

  • what kind of dumbass would insult this god of a man with this shit

  • @dirtybird131wyd Thank you Dirtybird calling all the people who insult me (a good man) Dumbassess!

  • westsidemedia, please find other life outlets. please?

  • This is great, I hope someone does this for ME after I die...

  • This is utter shite, i'd rather be rick rolled...

  • I hope you get cancer and your children die in a fire.

  • @LeLimeLine wow I love you too...

  • @LeLimeLine hey man I dont think the guy deserves such a bad curse...ok this video is kind of a sin. But after all, the guy likes robert johnson!

  • @LeLimeLine may god forgive you for what you said.

  • Para quem gosta de Noel Rosa grande compositor Brasileiro, este vídeo de Robert Johnson é uma preciosidade, GOLD , oldie good blue!!!!!!!!!! muito obrigado !!!!

  • Its photo shoped and bullshit

  • what the fuck is this.

  • I should not even justify what crap this is by commenting on it.....But,to the sperm-burping-gutter-slut,that made this : You sir,are fucked up !!! Good Day

  • They coulda kept this.....It just ain't very good.

  • well no animation in the world could emulate his hand movements...the best I could do was make him sing...again I did this...because I wanted to see it...and thought others would too...and I do have 600 or so likes...so I am happy for those people...they were at least entertained... I am sorry that you were not...

  • so the greatest blues player in the world, never moved his arms? this is crap!

  • what the fuck do I care how he looked like, just listen.

  • @skap187 I wanted to know what it LOOKED like and so did about 200,000 others...

  • The road to hell are paved with good intentions...we luv ya Robert Johnson, King Of The Delta Blues!

  • westside media go fuckyourselves

  • thanks tried this morning was quite difficult...I only have a nine inch penis

  • @Niro1001 Não vejo como isso desacredita qualquer Johnsons legado

  • Relax it's just a joke, RJ would have found it funny

  • disgusting horrible "this is way we treat REAL music" I DON'T THINK SO

    R.I.P ROBERT JOHNSON

  • You poor idiots don't know that this video is fake as shit I could do a better job on on on my i phone don't disgrace Robert Johnson by making this crap........................du­bcooker5

  • this video is very irritated............... R.I.P robert johnson

  • BS

    

  • This is insulting bullshit...

  • Yeah he moved like a Sharper Image robot chimp.

  • @MelleB90 I have one of those I use it to scare my four year old

  • I enjoy satire, but you don't fuck around with Robert Johnson

  • There's a reason this footage is rare. It never actually happened. You need to get a life. This is fucked up.

  • Fuck. Off.

  • pretty damn dumb. what a waste of time.

  • not rare. But kinda cool.

  • this is so goofy

  • it's crap

  • This is crap in it's brownest form. Remove this blasphemous video from youtube. Such disrespect to an icon.

  • this is DISRESPECTFUL!!!! 

  • (con't) Naturally people are going to be upset at your misleading attempt to increase views of your work. You have taken an honored blues legend and treated him with the subtly of a prank video that shows a calm sequence followed by a horrific image and a loud scream. As it stands the animation is interesting, but your presentation on YouTube turns it into a cheap scam. I would delete it and repost with an accurate title description.

  • Perhaps people wouldn't have been so critical of your work if you had been more stright forward and stated that you used animation techniques to try to recreate what Robert Johnson might have appeared like in a motion picture. I looked it up to actually see him in footage as I don't know of any that exists; instead I found I was mislead by the false title of a "rare" move of the man.

  • What a disgrace to the king of the Delta Blues. You just had to take a picture of him and make it look like some cartoon? Dude you should be locked in a very small shithouse where you belong. Do yourself a favor and delete youtube and please for gods sake don't make another video.

  • Lame....

  • Oh man,that is straight up bullshit.You just had to go on and fuck with some of the purest blues from the genuine father of them.

    But that's o.k. something tells me this may well catch right on up to you.

    and rightly so.Next time you have a thought-Slap your face hard and remind yourself that you are a dipshit and shouldn't tamper with the truth.In fact i suggest boxing up all your equipment and sending it back with a note."i'm too fucking stupid to be trusted with technology and the truth:-(

  • Hog wash!! And I don't eat pork!!

  • why does his music really make me sad and nervous very strange!!!

  • VIDEO RARO NADA... MONTAGEM GROTESCA DA FOTO DELE SENTADO NUM BANQUINHO COM O VIOLÃO... PEGARAM UM CLOSE DA FOTO E FIZERAM A MONTAGEM DO ROSTO SE MEXENDO PARA PARECER QUE ELE ESTÁ CANTANDO... BOA A MONTAGEM, MAS PERCEPTÍVEL...

  • @cristianobma Obrigado por seus comentários ... desculpe se você se sentiu enganar pelo título. Eu senti que era raro porque não há nada como lá fora.

  • Not cool.

  • @jimisback hell yeah it is cool...it is in fact one of the coolest thing I have ever saw...I brought some one back from the dead...hella cool

  • bastards

  • The media is the hell hound and we are its bared and sharp teeth...woof

  • hahahahhaha how thick do you think we are

  • what a huge load of crap!

  • vc ñ tem verginha na cara de fazer uma merda desta ???

  • @2011joao2011 Estou orgulhoso dessa merda!

  • Dude I'm pretty sure Robert Johnson had more soul expression on his face then this crap. Fuck these ass turds for insulting his legend.

  • @Meatwad07 this legend is dead and therefore void of insult. You were insulted even though you have nothing to do with it other then an audience member, and this is how you choose to participate?

  • @Meatwad07 really you time traveled with Master Shake and saw RJ play live...well then I bow at the alter of a guy named meatwad

  • @81970277324

    Oh come on, don't piss yourself over it.

  • LOL

  • Hoe is this rare footage? This is not footage. The only thing rare about it is the fact that it takes a particular kind of person to manipulate a pic of a great man.

  • Disturbing

  • i look like that in the mirror the next morning with the headache

  • Silly use of not that advanced technology.

  • like santa claus out of the shop in Christmas time

  • I'll probably have weird dreams tonight

  • Zombie! Shameful manipulation makes him look like Beyonce

  • "Why O Why", would u DISRESPECT the GRANDFATHER OF ROCK N ROLL in such a manner??? Art is creation, not manipulation!

  • "Why O Why", would u DISRESPECT the GRANDFATHER OF ROCK N ROLL in such a manner??? Art is creation, not manipulation!

  • This is sick, you should be ashamed of yourself. And BTW this is not art so don't you dare compare yourself to Dali. How would you feel if someone took some photos of your dead relatives and reanimated them for the sake of youtube amusement?

  • Looks like some of the others on here are echoing my sentiments exactly. Too creepy, man. Too creepy.

    I doubt the Robert Johnson Estate used this video as you claim they did.

  • No mames! Que mentada de madre a la memoria de Johnson. Era mejor su foto o imágenes del delta de Mississipi con sus blueses de fondo...

  • this is just racist

  • clever bit of editing, but obviously hasn't gone down well with most people on here.

    But then people can be very anal about things.

    Personally... If I was Robert Johnson I'd be delighted that someone wanted to use me in a video, I don't think this was ever intended to be disrespectful, far from it.

    but to some people it clearly is, and that's their baggage.

  • really really creepy ..... =___=

  • welcome to club 27

  • Shame on you

  • KREEPY!!! X1000

  • LOL xD

  • This isn't insulting, it's just...odd. Very odd, indeed.

  • This "movie" is embarrassing. I wouldn't put my name on anything like this and if I were part of his family, I'd be a bit upset. Maybe when you're dead someone will create some cartoonishly creepy "movie" of you...then again if you produce garbage like this nobody will care about remembering you.

  • haha, this is just creepy...

  • a creative feat none the less....but i'll be Damned rite next to Robert Johnson if u expect me 2 believe this....and yes....very poor taste....God Bless Robert Johnson.

  • Shame on you for such poor taste whoring yourself for media exposure on You Tube, not clever, not a fitting tribute to a Blues legend, the games up my friend, the fact you even use the title ''Movie RARE'' to sell your CONcept exposes your true intention' Look at me, I'm artistic and clever''. very poor taste.

  • sounds like bobcat goldwaite

  • whats the name of song @ 3:35

  • Man, I know the man has passed away and we all LOVE him.. I love the blues sooo much it's sick! I think this was meant to be a joke! And at first I was creeped the fack out, and a little upset.. but then I thought.. Man, I've made jokes far worse than this.. and I've laughed at worse! We don't have to be defensive just because he's dead, or because he was AWESOME! Nothing could change that anyway! HAHA Lighten up! It's seems like it's all in fun! :)

  • I am new fan, researching and discovering. Robert's voice had so much depth for his age, I didn't know he died at 27 years of age. The good die young, indeed.

  • I stand corrected!

  • Salvador Dali painted a mustache on the mona lisa

  • @WestsideMedia no he didn't. that was marcel Duchamp

  • the photo would have been fantastic on its own with the recording, why alter history in this way, its just as creepy as putting a mustache on the mona lisa

  • Am I the only one who find this somewhat creepy?

  • @mioloprode

    Creepy can be good, if that's what you are into. If not, then the answer is just yes.

  • That was bloody creepy man! Think it's about time we get a biopic of the man. If Mos Def ain't too old then get him. With that being said how about a biopic for Django Reinhardt?

  • this is just wrong....

  • @haftshar i dont care wat part of time it was. u sold your sold to the devil u just sold ya soul to the devil. The guy died shortly after he got his fame, and for what?

  • Exactly...insulting to his memory. Should only have shown his picture. period.

  • I see it less then technologies fault...I could have easily have done this by hand...or I could have made using cell animation...in which I made a 'duplicate' of this image and used that...so I see the dilemma for you is the actual use of the actual photo

  • I'm in the camp that says he photo should NOT have been manipulated in such a manner. Sometimes technology works for us, sometimes (such as this one) it is a massive failure.

  • i find this is a disgusting initiative. With technology you can do anything, but doesn't mean you should. In particular in the case of a musician that was never filmed, making a silly animation that looks like a video game of the late 90s, i really dont see a positive contribution, either to Johnsons' memory, either to culture in general.

    Why dont u make a clip with Jesus & Muhamad sitting under a tree, and discussing how silly their followers are, keeping on hating eachother when both
